Note to a skating drama queen in training: Jamie, honey, you can't say you're taking the high ground since Monday night's 5-4 decision to award Russia the gold medal in pairs competition, and then shrug pitifully on the podium, cry as the Russian anthem is being played, and look doe-fully into the cameras while proclaiming your resignation to second place.

The world obviously feels for you: A CNN poll showed 92 percent thought you and David were robbed. But you're going to have to work on that sincerity, sweetie, to keep the masses on your side. Anyway, there's got to be an easier way to end the controversy.
